Album Reviews

"This recording, restoring to the catalogue timeless songs (Ballads and Songs from Films and Operetta, 1926-31) performed by a man considered by some to have been peerless among baritones last century, should be compulsory listening for aspiring classical singers. Despite the performances' vintage, Lawrence Tibbett's perfect enunciation sets a lofty standard... This priceless series of super-budget historical performances hopefully will resurrect discs of Tibbett singing operatic arias."
